Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0043] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the presentation information display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the outline of the system configuration of the presentation information display device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] (Configuration of the presentation information display device 100) This presentation information display device 100 is a display device for displaying presentation information that an information presenter conveys to a patient when performing a medical act. In this embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is used when performing an X-ray CT examination. Here, the information presenter refers to a person who performs a medical act or an act equivalent to a medical act on a user of a medical institution such as a hospital or a clinic. Specifically, examples include medical staff such as a technician, a doctor, or a nurse who operates examination equipment (for example, an X-ray CT device). Also, the patient refers to a person who is ill or injured and visits a medical institution, and includes healthy persons such as those who receive a health check at a medical institution.

[0045] This presentation information display device 100 is a portable terminal device formed in a rectangular plate shape in a plan view and having a size that can be held by hand. In this embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured by a known tablet terminal device. As shown in FIG. 1, this presentation information display device 100 mainly includes a storage unit 110, an input unit 120, a control unit 130, and an output unit 140.

[0046] The storage unit 110 is a storage device that stores a comprehensive control program such as an OS (operating system) for operating the tablet terminal device and various application programs, and is configured by, for example, an HDD, an SSD, a ROM, or a RAM. Also, the storage unit 110 stores the presentation information display program and the presentation information according to the present invention. In this case, the presentation information display program and the presentation information are stored in the storage unit 110 in advance by the user or administrator of the presentation information display device 100.

[0047] Here, the presentation information display program, which will be described in detail later, is a computer program that controls the operation of the control unit 130 of the presentation information display device 100 to display presentation information to the patient according to the operations of the information presenter.

[0048] Also, the presentation information includes a plurality of pieces of information including specific presentation contents such as questions, instructions, cautions, and transmission matters presented by the information presenter to the patient. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively, the presentation information includes the question "Please tell me your name and birthday" (presentation content Q1), the instruction "Please wear only one piece of underwear on the upper body" (presentation content Q2), the caution "Please hold your breath firmly according to the announcement" (presentation content Q3), and the transmission matter "The examination will start now" (presentation content Q4), and other such presentation contents.

[0049] These multiple presentation contents are classified and configured according to the stages of the work for the patient. In the present embodiment, the presentation contents are divided into seven scenes: "before examination", which is the stage before the examination; "positioning", which is the stage of determining the patient's posture for the X-ray CT device; "examination instruction", which is the stage of giving the patient an instruction to move during the examination (i.e., during imaging); "contrast examination", which is the stage during the progress of the contrast examination; "after examination", which is the stage after the examination; "interview", which is the stage of conducting an interview with the patient; and "others", which is not included in these stages. In the present embodiment, the presentation contents are pre-classified and stored in the storage unit 110 by the user or administrator of the presentation information display device 100, but it may also be configured such that the control unit 130 classifies the presentation contents according to pre-set classification criteria (for example, based on the identification information attached to the presentation contents).

[0050] Before the examination, the presented contents include Q1, Q2, "Please change into the examination gown", and "Please remove metals, necklaces, bras, and the zippers of trousers", etc. Also, in the positioning scene, "Please lie on your back on the bed" and "Please raise both hands" are included as presented contents. Also, in the examination instruction scene, presented contents such as "During the examination, announcements like 'Please hold your breath' and 'Please breathe easily' will be made" and presented content Q3 are included.

[0051] Also, in the contrast examination scene, presented contents such as "What is your weight in kg?" and "I will give an injection now" are included. Also, in the post-examination scene, presented content such as "The examination is over." is included. Also, in the interview scene, presented contents such as "Did you have breakfast? Yes No" and "Did you have lunch? Yes No" are included. Also, in other scenes, presented content Q4 and "Please wait for a while" are included.

[0052] Also, each presented content is associated with simplified information consisting of summarized information or information extracted from a part of it. In this embodiment, the presented content Q1 is associated with "Please tell your name and birthday", which is simplified information obtained by extracting all the words of the presented content Q1. The same configuration applies to presented content Q2, presented content Q3, and presented content Q4. This simplified information is included in the information indirectly representing the presented information according to the present invention.

[0053] The information indirectly representing this presented information is information that represents the presented content not as it is but in such a way that the presented content is suggested by extracting, summarizing, partially omitting, or abstracting the presented content. Specifically, the information indirectly representing the presented information can be represented by characters, voices, figures, symbols, or videos. For example, for "Please tell your name and birthday" in presented content Q1, "Identity confirmation" indicating the purpose of asking the patient about presented content Q1 can be used as the information indirectly representing the presented information.

[0054] Furthermore, each piece of presentation content is configured with a respective priority assigned when presented to the patient. This priority is the order along the workflow of the medical actions performed by the information presenter on the patient. In this embodiment, the priorities are assigned with smaller numbers in order from the presentation content presented to the patient in the X-ray CT examination. Specifically, the presentation content Q1 is given a "1" indicating the highest priority within the pre-examination scene. Similarly, "2", "2", and "1" are respectively given to the presentation content Q2, the presentation content Q3, and the presentation content Q4.

[0055] Also, in this embodiment, the presentation information includes, in addition to character information, information for representing each piece of presentation content in illustration and voice (for example, image files and voice files), but may also include information for representing the presentation content in video (for example, video files). Also, in this embodiment, the presentation information has been described as information presented in Japanese, but other languages such as English, Chinese, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog can be used, and these presentation information are configured in the same way as Japanese.

[0056] The input unit 120 is an input device for receiving an operation from the information presenter to the presentation information display device 100. This input unit 120 constitutes the presenter-side operation means according to the present invention, and outputs operation instruction information corresponding to the operation of the information presenter to the control unit 130. In this embodiment, the input unit 120 is realized by being displayed on the touch panel that constitutes the tablet terminal device.

[0057] The control unit 130 is a control device that comprehensively controls the overall operation of the presentation information display device 100, which is a tablet terminal device, by executing the comprehensive control program stored in the storage unit 110. Also, the control unit 130 causes the presentation information to be displayed to the patient according to the operation of the information presenter by executing the presentation information display program stored in the storage unit 110. This control unit 130 is constituted by a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

[0058] The output unit 140 is an output device for outputting presentation information based on an instruction from the control unit 130. This output unit 140 mainly includes a display screen 141 and a speaker 142.

[0059] The display screen 141 is a display device for displaying presentation information as an image based on an instruction from the control unit 130. In this embodiment, the display screen 141 is composed of a touch panel display that constitutes a tablet terminal device. Three display areas, namely a presenter-side display area 141a, a patient-side display area 141b, and a language selection area 141c, are respectively secured on this display screen 141.

[0060] Here, the presenter-side display area 141a is an area on the display device for displaying presentation information to the information presenter, and is formed in a part of the display area of the display screen 141. Also, the patient-side display area 141b is an area on the display device for displaying presentation information to the patient, and is formed by overlapping or switching on the presenter-side display area 141a.

[0061] Also, the language selection area 141c is an area on the display device for displaying a plurality of language types that can be selected as the language representing the presentation information displayed in the patient-side display area 141b, and is formed in another part of the display area of the display screen 141. In this case, the language selection area 141c may display a plurality of language types simultaneously, or may be configured such that images displaying one language type are moved up and down or left and right (that is, swiped) to display other language types. Also, the language selection area may always be displayed at any position on the display screen 141.

[0062] The speaker 142 is an audio output device for outputting the presentation content composed of an audio file as audio. In this embodiment, the speaker 142 is composed of a speaker included in the tablet terminal device that constitutes the presentation information display device 100.

[0063] In addition, the presentation information display device 100 includes a power supply unit (not shown) that supplies power to the storage unit 110, the input unit 120, the control unit 130, and the output unit 140, respectively. In the present embodiment, the power supply unit is composed of a battery (a rechargeable secondary battery such as a nickel-metal hydride battery or a lithium-ion battery) that stores power from an external power supply such as a household power supply (100V). Note that since the power supply unit only needs to be able to supply power within the presentation information display device 100, it may be configured to directly receive power from a primary battery such as a dry battery or a household power supply (100V) and supply power to each unit.

[0064] (Operation of the Presentation Information Display Device 100) Next, the operation of the presentation information display device 100 configured as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is used for a patient who visits a room equipped with an X-ray CT device for taking an X-ray CT image. First, after the information presenter activates the presentation information display device 100, the information presenter instructs the control unit 130 to start the presentation information display program. Specifically, the information presenter taps an icon representing the presentation information display program displayed on the display screen 141.

[0065] In response to this instruction, the control unit 130 starts the execution of the presentation information display program shown in FIG. 4 at step S100, and at step S102, as shown in FIG. 5, displays the initial screen W100 on the display screen 141.

[0066] Here, the initial screen W100 is an operation screen that is first displayed when the presentation information display program is executed, and is composed of a presenter-side display area 141a, a language selection area 141c, and presenter-side operation means. In this case, in the present embodiment, the presenter-side display area 141a is formed in a rectangular shape in the right area obtained by dividing the display screen of the tablet terminal device (that is, the display screen 141) constituting the presentation information display device 100 into left and right, and the language selection area 141c is formed in a rectangular shape in the left area. Also, the presenter-side operation means is realized by being displayed on the touch panel of the tablet terminal device that constitutes the presentation information display device 100 by the control unit 130.

[0067] In this case, the presenter-side display area 141a displays the type T101 of the language in which the presentation information is output (specifically, English), the language image T102 indicating the national flag or illustration corresponding to the language (specifically, an alphabet illustration), and the scene T103 obtained by classifying the presentation information at the work stage (specifically, "before inspection" and "positioning", etc.). Here, the presenter-side display area 141a is configured to display other scenes (for example, inspection instruction, contrast examination, after inspection, interview, and others) other than "before inspection" and "positioning" by swiping the scene T103 with a finger. The process of displaying the scene T103 included in the presentation information in this presenter-side display area 141a corresponds to the presenter-side display step according to the present invention. Also, in this presenter-side display step, the process of displaying the scene T103 obtained by classifying the presentation information at the work stage in the presenter-side display area 141a corresponds to the classification display step according to the present invention.

[0068] Further, in the language selection area 141c, the type G101 of the language in which the presentation information is output and the language image G102 indicating the national flag or illustration corresponding to that language are respectively displayed. In this case, the language selection area 141c is configured to display an image representing another language (Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog) by swiping this language selection area 141c with a finger. The process of displaying the type G101 of the language in which the presentation information is represented and the language image G102 indicating the national flag or illustration corresponding to that language in this language selection area 141c corresponds to the language selection display step according to the present invention.

[0069] Next, at step S104, the control unit 130 executes an end subprogram. This end subprogram is a computer program for forcibly terminating the presentation information display program that is running according to the operation of the information presenter. Specifically, the control unit 130 terminates the execution of the presentation information display program by swiping the content (display image by the execution of the presentation information display program) displayed on the display screen 141 with a finger and sweeping it out of the display screen 141. In this case, even when other processes in the presentation information display program are being performed, the control unit 130 can forcibly terminate the execution of the presentation information display program according to the operation of the information presenter by executing the end subprogram. This end subprogram is always executed during the execution of the presentation information display program.

[0070] Next, in step S106, the control unit 130 executes the language selection sub-program shown in FIG. 6. This language selection sub-program is a computer program for setting the language representing the presentation information displayed in the patient-side display area 141b according to the operation of the information presenter. Specifically, the control unit 130 starts the execution of the language selection sub-program in step S200, and in step S202, determines whether a language has been selected in the language selection area 141c. In this case, when the language type G101 or the language image G102 is tapped, the control unit 130 determines "Yes" as the language having been selected, and in step S204, displays the presentation information corresponding to the selected language in the presenter-side display area 141a. At the same time, in step S204, the control unit 130 displays the language name corresponding to the selected language and the image corresponding to that language (for example, a national flag or an illustration) in the language selection area 141c.

[0071] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 130 reads out from the storage unit 110 the selected language "Portuguese" (selected language T101a), the image of the Brazilian national flag which is the national flag corresponding to Portuguese (selected language image T102a), and the name of each scene such as "Before Inspection" (pre-selection scene T103a), and displays them in the presenter-side display area 141a. At the same time, the control unit 130 displays Portuguese (selected language G101a) and the image of the Brazilian national flag (selected language image G102a) in the language selection area 141c.

[0072] On the other hand, when the language type G101 or the language image G102 is not tapped, the control unit 130 determines "No" as the language not having been selected, and returns to step S202. This language selection sub-program is always executed during the execution of the presentation information display program.

[0073] Next, in step S108, the control unit 130 executes the scene selection subprogram shown in FIG. 8. As described above, this scene selection subprogram is a computer program for displaying the presentation information included in the selected scene among a plurality of pieces of presentation information classified for each work stage (seven scenes in this embodiment) in the presenter-side display area 141a. Further, this scene selection subprogram is a computer program for displaying, in the patient-side display area 141b, the presentation information selected by the information presenter from the presentation information within a specific scene displayed in the presenter-side display area 141a.

[0074] The control unit 130 starts the execution of the scene selection subprogram in step S300, and determines in step S302 whether a scene has been selected in the presenter-side display area 141a. In this case, when the pre-selection scene T103a is tapped, the control unit 130 determines "Yes" as if a scene has been selected, and in step S304, displays a plurality of pieces of simplified information included in the selected scene in the presenter-side display area 141a. The process of displaying, in step S304, a plurality of pieces of simplified information included in the selected scene in the presenter-side display area 141a corresponds to the simplified information display step according to the present invention.

[0075] In this embodiment, the control unit 130 reads out a plurality of pieces of simplified information included in the selected scene from the storage unit 110 and displays them in a list in the presenter-side display area 141a in descending order of the priority assigned to each presentation content. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 130 displays in the presenter-side display area 141a a plurality of pieces of simplified information (simplified information T104) corresponding to presentation contents such as the selected language Portuguese (selected language T101a), the selected scene "before inspection" (selected scene T103b), and presentation content Q1, and a return button T105 for returning to the screen for selecting a scene. At this time, the simplified information is composed of characters indicating the presentation content corresponding to the simplified information and a part of the image file. The process of displaying the plurality of pieces of simplified information in descending order of priority in the presenter-side display area 141a in step S304 corresponds to the operation order display step according to the present invention.

[0076] On the other hand, if the pre-selection scene T103a is not tapped, the control unit 130 determines "No" and returns to step S302.

[0077] Next, in step S306, the control unit 130 executes a scene screen back subprogram. This scene screen back subprogram is a computer program for returning the display content of the presenter-side display area 141a from the screen on which a plurality of pieces of simplified information are displayed (the currently displayed screen) to the screen on which a plurality of scenes are displayed (the previous screen) according to the operation of the information presenter.

[0078] The control unit 130 starts executing the scene screen back subprogram in step S306 and determines whether an operation for returning to the screen for selecting a scene has been performed in the presenter-side display area 141a. In this case, if the return button T105 is tapped, the control unit 130 determines "Yes" as if an operation for returning to the screen for selecting a scene has been performed and returns to step S302. On the other hand, if the return button T105 is not tapped, the control unit 130 determines "No" and proceeds to step S308. This scene screen back subprogram is always executed during the execution of the scene selection subprogram.

[0079] Next, in step S308, the control unit 130 determines whether the content to be presented has been selected in the presenter-side display area 141a. In this case, when the simplified information T104 that shows the content to be presented in a simplified manner is tapped, the control unit 130 determines "Yes" assuming that the content to be presented has been selected, and displays the content to be presented corresponding to the selected simplified information in the patient-side display area 141b in step S310.

[0080] The process of displaying, in the patient-side display area 141b, the content to be presented corresponding to the simplified information selected based on the tap operation on the simplified information T104 in steps S308 and S310 corresponds to the patient-side display control step according to the present invention. Also, the process of displaying, in the patient-side display area 141b, the content to be presented corresponding to the simplified information selected in step S310 corresponds to the patient-side display step according to the present invention.

[0081] In the present embodiment, the patient-side display area 141b is formed in the same area as the area where the presenter-side display area 141a is formed by the control unit 130. In this case, in step S310, the control unit 130 switches between the presenter-side display area 141a and the patient-side display area 141b, and displays the selected content to be presented in the patient-side display area 141b. According to this, the information presenter can cause the content to be presented corresponding to the selected simplified information to be displayed in the patient-side display area 141b, and can arbitrarily select the content to be presented to the patient. Also, the information presenter can present the content of the presentation information displayed in the patient-side display area 141b to the patient after confirming it in advance.

[0082] The process of forming the presenter-side display area 141a, the patient-side display area 141b, and the presenter-side operation means on the display screen 141 in steps S102 and S310 corresponds to the area means forming step according to the present invention.

[0083] Also, in the patient-side display area 141b, the control unit 130 displays the Portuguese language (selected language T101a) which is the selected language, "Please tell me your name and date of birth" which is the selected simplified information (selected simplified information T104a), and a return button T105a for returning to the screen for selecting the presentation content. At the same time, the control unit 130 displays a selection image T106 showing the presentation content Q1 in an illustration, "Qual e seu nome e data de nascimento?" (selected language text T107) showing the presentation content Q1 in Portuguese, "Please tell me your name and date of birth" (Japanese text T108) showing the presentation content Q1 in Japanese, and a voice operation button T109 for operating the output of the voice file in the patient-side display area 141b. The process of displaying the voice operation button T109 for operating the output of this voice file in the patient-side display area 141b (step S310) corresponds to a part of the voice output step according to the present invention.

[0084] On the other hand, when the simplified information T104 is not tapped, the control unit 130 determines "No" and returns to step S308.

[0085] Next, in step S312, the control unit 130 executes a presentation content screen back subprogram. This presentation content screen back subprogram is a computer program for returning the display content of the display screen 141 from the screen where the presentation content is displayed (the currently displayed screen) to the screen where a plurality of simplified information is displayed (the previous screen) according to the operation of the information presenter.

[0086] The control unit 130 starts the execution of the presentation content screen back subprogram at step S312, and determines whether an operation for returning to the screen (the screen on which a plurality of simplified information is displayed) for selecting the presentation content is performed in the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means). In this case, when the return button T105a is tapped, the control unit 130 determines that an operation for returning to the screen for selecting the presentation content has been performed and determines "Yes", and returns to step S308. On the other hand, when the return button T105a is not tapped, the control unit 130 determines "No" and proceeds to step S314. This presentation content screen back subprogram is always executed during the execution of the scene selection subprogram.

[0087] Next, after the information presenter confirms that the patient-side display area 141b on which the presentation content is projected is displayed on the display screen 141 of the presentation information display device 100, the information presenter holds the presentation information display device 100 by hand so that the patient can view the display screen 141 and presents the display screen 141 to the patient. The patient views the display screen 141 presented by the information presenter in a standing or sitting posture if it is before the examination, or in a lying posture if it is during the examination, according to the scene of the examination. At this time, the information presenter can arbitrarily determine the timing, time, number of times of presenting the presentation content, and whether to reproduce the voice, etc. to the patient according to the state and reaction of the patient, and operate the input unit 120 (presenter-side display area) to present the presentation information to the patient.

[0088] Next, in step S314, the control unit 130 determines whether an operation for playing an audio file has been performed on the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means). In this case, when the play button T109a on the audio operation button T109 is tapped, the control unit 130 determines "Yes" assuming that an operation for playing the audio file has been performed, and outputs the presentation content consisting of the audio file to the speaker 142 in step S316. This audio operation button T109 is an audio operation means for operating the output and output method of the audio file. In the present embodiment, it includes a play button T109a for instructing the control unit 130 to play the audio file, an operator (so-called seek bar) for instructing the control unit 130 of the playback position of the audio file, an operator for changing the playback speed, and an operator for changing the volume, and the like.

[0089] The process of outputting the presentation content consisting of the audio file to the speaker 142 based on the tap operation on the play button T109a in steps S314 and S316 corresponds to another part of the audio output step according to the present invention.

[0090] Next, after the information presenter presents the last presentation content to the patient and finishes the X-ray CT examination, the information presenter gives an end instruction to the control unit 130 to end the execution of the presentation information display program. Specifically, the information presenter swipes the content (display image by the execution of the presentation information display program) displayed on the display screen 141 with a finger. According to this, the control unit 130 executes the end subprogram and ends the execution of the presentation information display program in step S110. Then, the information presenter turns off the power of the tablet terminal device to stop (turn off the power) the operation of the presentation information display device 100.

[0091] As can be understood from the above operation description, according to the above embodiment, since the control unit 130 of the presentation information display device 100 controls the display content of the patient-side display area 141b based on the operation instruction information output from the input unit 120, the information presenter can appropriately select the presentation content to be displayed in the patient-side display area 141b, the timing of presentation, the time of presentation, and the number of presentations.

[0092] Furthermore, in implementing the present invention, it is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the object of the present invention. In the description of each modification example, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the above embodiment, and the overlapping description is omitted.

[0093] For example, in the above embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured such that the control unit 130 forms the presenter-side display area 141a, the patient-side display area 141b, and the input unit 120 on the same display screen 141. However, the presentation information display device 100 only needs to include the presenter-side display area 141a, the patient-side display area 141b, and the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means), and it is not necessarily required that these are realized by the same device. Therefore, the presentation information display device 100 can be configured to include a first display device including the display screen 141 on which the presenter-side display area 141a is formed, a second display device different from the first display device including the display screen 141 on which the patient-side display area 141b is formed, and an input device that realizes the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means).

[0094] According to this, since the presenter-side display area 141a and the patient-side display area 141b of the presentation information display device 100 are respectively formed on the display screens 141 of the first and second display devices that are different from each other, even when the information presenter and the patient are physically separated to such an extent that they cannot communicate directly such as having a conversation (for example, when the information presenter instructs the patient to perform various examinations in a different room from the patient), the presentation content can be presented to the patient.

[0095] In the above-described embodiment, the input unit 120 is configured as an input device that can receive operations not only from the information presenter but also from the patient. According to this, the presentation information display device 100 allows the patient to arbitrarily perform operations such as changing the language representing the presented content to a language that the patient can understand or outputting the content by voice to the presentation information display device 100. However, the input unit 120 may be configured as an input device that receives only the operations of the information presenter. For example, the input unit 120 can be configured with a touch panel (including a stationary type) that can be operated only by the information presenter independently of the display screen 141, a keyboard, a mouse, or a microphone, etc.

[0096] In the above-described embodiment, the input unit 120 is realized on the touch panel that constitutes the tablet terminal device. However, the input unit 120 may be any input device that receives operations on the presentation information display device 100, and for example, it may be a keyboard, a mouse, or a microphone (voice input).

[0097] In the above-described embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured as a tablet terminal device. However, the presentation information display device 100 can also be configured with a portable terminal device that can be held by hand other than a tablet terminal device, for example, a smartphone.

[0098] In this case, the control unit 130 can execute different processing from the presentation information display device 100 (tablet terminal device) in the above-described embodiment to display the presentation information on the display screen 141. Specifically, the control unit 130 switches each area according to the operation instruction of the information presenter in the order of the language selection area 141c, the presenter-side display area 141a, and the patient-side display area 141b, and forms each area over the entire display screen 141 to display the display content on the entire screen.

[0099] More specifically, first, according to the activation operation of the information presenter, as shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 130 forms the language selection area 141c over the entire display screen 141 and displays a screen (language types G101 and language images G102) for selecting a language.

[0100] Next, the control unit 130 switches the language selection area 141c and the presenter-side display area 141a as shown in FIG. 12 by the language selection operation by the information presenter. In this case, the control unit 130 displays the type of the selected language (selected language T101a), the image indicating the language (selected language image T102a), and each scene (pre-selection scene T103a) obtained by classifying the presentation information on the entire display screen 141.

[0101] Next, the control unit 130 displays, on the entire display screen 141, a plurality of pieces of simplified information classified into the selected scene (that is, selected language T101a, post-selection scene T103b, simplified information T104, and back button T105) as shown in FIG. 13 by the scene selection operation by the information presenter.

[0102] Next, the control unit 130 switches the presenter-side display area 141a and the patient-side display area 141b as shown in FIG. 14 by the simplified information selection operation by the information presenter. In this case, the control unit 130 displays, on the entire display screen 141, presentation contents corresponding to the selected simplified information (that is, selected language T101a, selected simplified information T104a, selected image T106, selected language text T107, Japanese text T108, voice operation button T109, play button T109a, and back button T105a).

[0103] According to such a configuration, since the control unit 130 displays the display contents of each area on the entire display screen 141, the characters or images displayed in each area can be displayed in a large size, and the information presenter or the patient can be displayed so that the presentation information is easy to visually recognize. Further, the control unit 130 can also display more characters or images in a small display area of the display screen 141.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured as a portable terminal device that can be held by hand. According to this, even when the information presenter is in a posture where the patient cannot easily view the display screen 141 of the presentation information display device 100 (for example, a lying-down posture), the presentation information display device 100 can be presented to the patient at a position, distance, and orientation where the patient can view the display screen 141. However, the presentation information display device 100 may be configured as a stationary display device that cannot be held by hand.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to switch between the presenter-side display area 141a and the patient-side display area 141b based on an input operation on the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means). However, the control unit 130 may be configured to display the presenter-side display area 141a and the patient-side display area 141b side by side on the display screen 141 based on an input operation on the input unit 120 (presenter-side operation means).

[0106] In the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display simplified information obtained by simplifying each of a plurality of pieces of presentation information in the presenter-side display area 141a. Here, in the medical field where the present invention is used, since the number of tests is large, it is required to accurately convey presentation information to the patient to promote the patient's understanding and shorten the test time for each patient as much as possible. In this regard, since the presentation information display device 100 is configured such that the control unit 130 displays simplified information obtained by simplifying each of a plurality of pieces of presentation information in the presenter-side display area 141a, the information presenter can quickly select the presentation content by simply viewing the simplified information without performing the operation of checking each of the plurality of presentation contents to select the content to be presented to the patient, and smoothly proceed with the test. However, the control unit 130 may display the plurality of presentation contents as they are in the presenter-side display area 141a.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display the simplified information in a list in the presenter-side display area 141a. According to this, the information presenter can easily grasp the overall situation of the simplified information, such as the number and content of the simplified information, and can select the presentation content more quickly. However, the control unit 130 may be configured to individually display a plurality of pieces of simplified information in the presenter-side display area 141a. Specifically, the control unit 130 may be configured such that by swiping one piece of simplified information displayed in the presenter-side display area 141a with a finger, other pieces of simplified information are displayed one by one.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display a plurality of pieces of presentation information in the presenter-side display area 141a along the workflow of the medical procedure. In the medical field where this medical procedure is performed, there may be cases where the examination is advanced while forgetting to convey information such as questions or precautions to the patient. In this regard, since the presentation information display device 100 is configured such that the control unit 130 displays a plurality of pieces of presentation information in the presenter-side display area 141a along the workflow, the information presenter can present the presentation information to the patient while confirming it along the workflow, and can reduce the omission of presenting the presentation information to the patient. However, the control unit 130 may display a plurality of pieces of presentation information in the presenter-side display area 141a in the order of importance of the presentation information, or may be configured to display them in an arbitrary order. In this case, the importance means, in the above embodiment, the necessity of always showing or confirming to the patient.

[0109] Also, in the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to classify the simplified information for each scene (stage of work) and display it in the presenter-side display area 141a. However, the control unit 130 may classify and display a plurality of pieces of presentation information for each type of work of the presentation information or for each type of content of the presentation information, or may be configured to display it without classifying it into a specific category. In this case, the type of work is the type of medical act that the information presenter performs on the patient, for example, simple X-ray imaging, MRI examination, or anesthesia treatment. Also, the type of content of the presentation information is what the presentation information is classified by its content, for example, questions, instructions, cautions, or transmission matters.

[0110] Also, in the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to separate a plurality of scenes and the simplified information included in those scenes onto separate screens and display them in the presenter-side display area 141a. However, the control unit 130 can be configured to display a plurality of scenes and the simplified information included in those scenes on the same screen. Specifically, the control unit 130 can divide the paragraphs for each scene and display the simplified information included in each scene together, and can display a list of a plurality of scenes and the simplified information included in those scenes. According to this, the information presenter can easily recognize what simplified information is included in each scene.

[0111] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the speaker 142 as the voice output device is configured as a speaker integrally provided in the presentation information display device 100. However, the speaker 142 may be configured non-integrally with the presentation information display device 100. For example, the speaker 142 may be a device (such as an earphone or a headset) that can be placed on the ear, worn, or inserted to listen to sound. Also, the voice output device does not necessarily have to be a device that uses air conduction to transmit sound. For example, it may be a device that uses bone conduction to transmit sound by vibrating the bone. By configuring the voice output device as a device that transmits sound by bone conduction, presentation information can be presented by voice to patients with insufficient hearing ability (such as the elderly or the hearing-impaired).

[0112] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display the voice operation button T109 and the playback button T109a in the patient-side display area 141b, and output voice from the speaker 142 based on the operation of the playback button T109a. That is, the voice operation button T109 and the playback button T109a are images that prompt the voice output according to the present invention, and the playback button T109a corresponds to the voice activation means according to the present invention.

[0113] In this case, the image that prompts the voice output is an image that allows the patient to understand that the presentation information can be output by voice. For example, the image that prompts the voice output includes an illustration showing the state where sound waves are output from the speaker, or an image that shows, in characters, figures, or symbols, that voice output such as "Please press the button if you want to listen by voice." is possible.

[0114] Also, the voice activation means may be anything that activates the voice output device. For example, it may be configured to activate the voice output device by a switch provided on the side of the presentation information display device 100 or by voice recognition technology via a microphone.

[0115] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display the voice operation button T109 (image prompting voice output) in the patient-side display area 141b, and to output voice from the voice output device based on the operation of the playback button T109a (voice activation means). However, the control unit 130 may be configured to output voice from the voice output device based on the operation of a voice activation means (for example, a switch or a microphone) without displaying an image prompting voice output in the patient-side display area 141b.

[0116] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured to include a language selection area 141c for selecting the language representing the presentation information displayed in the patient-side display area 141b. However, when it is not necessary for the presentation information display device 100 to display the presentation information in a plurality of languages, the language selection area 141c may be omitted. Specifically, the presentation information display device 100 may be configured to display the presentation information in only a single language (for example, Japanese or English).

[0117] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to always display the language selection area 141c on the display screen 141. However, the control unit 130 may be configured to be able to display the language selection area 141c intermittently on the display screen 141. Specifically, the control unit 130 may be configured to display the language selection area 141c on the display screen 141 in accordance with an operation of selecting an image (for example, a menu button) for displaying the language selection area 141c on the display screen 141.

[0118] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to display the language selected in the language selection area 141c in the language selection area 141c using the national flag of the country corresponding to that language. However, the control unit 130 can display the selected language in the language selection area 141c in a form other than the image of the national flag corresponding to that language. For example, the control unit 130 may display the selected language in the language selection area 141c using a map representing the location of the country where that language is used.

[0119] In the above embodiment, the control unit 130 is configured to represent the presentation content as an image prompting the output of illustrations, characters, and voices and display it on the patient-side display area 141b. According to this, the presentation information display device 100 can show the presentation information to the patient in a plurality of forms such as illustrations, characters, and voices, and can promote the patient's understanding. However, the control unit 130 may be configured to represent the presentation content using at least one of illustrations, characters, and an image prompting the output of voices and display it on the patient-side display area 141b.

[0120] In the above embodiment, the case where an information presenter performs an X-ray CT examination on a patient is adopted as the scenario for using the presentation information display device 100 for explanation. However, the present invention can be widely adopted for medical acts or acts equivalent to medical acts that present presentation information such as questions or precautions to patients. That is, the present invention can be applied to medical acts other than X-ray CT examinations, for example, simple X-ray photography (so-called X-ray imaging), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examinations, colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (so-called gastric camera examination), anesthesia treatment, surgery, or rehabilitation (for example, physical therapy or occupational therapy, etc.) and various medical acts or acts equivalent to medical acts.

[0121] In the above embodiment, the presentation information display device 100 is configured such that the control unit 130 displays only the presentation information corresponding to the X-ray CT examination on the display screen 141. However, the control unit 130 can be configured to also display on the display screen 141 the presentation information corresponding to medical acts or acts equivalent to medical acts other than the X-ray CT examination described above. Specifically, the control unit 130 can be configured to display a plurality of medical acts (operations) performed by the information presenter on the patient on the display screen 141 in a selectable state, and display the presentation information in the same configuration as in the case of the above X-ray CT examination for each selected medical act.

[0122] In the above embodiment, the presentation information display program is configured to include a scene screen backup subprogram (step S306) and a presentation content screen backup subprogram (step S312). However, when the presentation information display program separately includes an operation means (for example, a switch) for receiving an instruction for the presentation information display device 100 to return the display screen 141 to the previous screen, these scene screen backup subprogram (step S306) and presentation content screen backup subprogram (step S312) can be omitted in the configuration.
